No ongoing fees or royalties need to be paid to the original copyright holder. Instead, customers need only pay a one-time fee for the music license that matches the needs of their project. Royalty-free music licensing sites like PremiumBeat feature flexible and affordable license plans that include unlimited use within a single project. After the one-time fee, the track can be used in that project in perpetuity, meaning forever.
Sync license: The sync or synchronization license allows a track to be used in an audiovisual project such as a TV show, film, or commercial video. With this license, the licensee can make a new recording of the original track. It is granted by a music publisher or music publishing company.
Master license: This license transfers the rights to the original recording of a track to the licensee. Similar to the sync license, it is required for audiovisual projects. The master license is usually granted by the record company that originally recorded the track.
Mechanical license: The mechanical license allows a song to be reproduced and distributed in any form to a specific audience. It is always for a private use of the track. For those interested in recording their own version of a copyrighted song or exporting a video that features the song, this license is necessary.
Print license: A print or print rights license allows a customer to print copies of the score of a copyrighted track. For those who want to display lyrics from a song in a YouTube video, for example, this license will be required.
Theatrical license: The theatrical or grand rights license is only used in the theater. It is required for any theater company that intends to perform a song in an on-stage production before an audience.
There are also royalty-free licenses such as those found on PremiumBeat. Our licenses save you time and money, as instead of requesting a specific license and waiting months to hear back, you can find a track you love in our library and pay a one-time fee for your license all in one go.
If the copyright ownership has passed through several hands, however, the process will require more research. It is also possible that the track involves multiple owners, each of whom must grant permission for use of the track. Once you have identified the owner or owners, determine the rights you need. This will depend on your intended use of the track. You will then want to contact the copyright holders and negotiate a payment. Be sure to get your permission agreement in writing.
If you come across a track you love and you want to hear more like it, simply click its title and scroll down to the section titled “More songs like this one” for a curated list of similar tracks.

When it comes to catching the attention of a YouTube or Vimeo audience, high-quality music can help your video rise above the rest. If you use a copyrighted song without permission, however, you run the risk of getting hit with a copyright infringement claim (not to mention it’s illegal!).
